Brian is asking for a way to watch processes globally, as they are scheduled 
back and forth on the available cpus.  I was a bit sloppy in my wording above; 
what Process Lasso displays is the changing process affinity mask for a process 
I wrote to do just that.  I don't know of a way to ask Windows which cpu a 
process is currently scheduled onto.
